John Talley-Jones reads the Marfusha Haiku
These haiku narrate the story of Marfusha, first rabbit into space. In July of 1959, she participated in a high-altitude, suborbital Soviet test flight. Along with two canine companions, she successfully returned to Earth, where she lived out the rest of her days. A Rumanian postage stamp was subsequently issued in her honor.
